Sorry for my lack of knowledge, but:
What is the difference in me changing out my gears from 4.11 to 4.88 or putting in a superchip to get me a few more horse power in my 2.5L. It's just a daily driver with a 4' lift and 33's, no rock crawling.
Thanks
4.88s will make your truck feel like it is on red bulls and fly away. A superchip well I will give you my address and you can send me the money and I will keep it for you. A chip will do nothing in a jeep.
Your motor likes a certain RPM range, bigger tires change your final drive ratio, taking your motor to a lower rpm. Gear down (numericaly higher) will put your motor back into its torque curve. Go with the gears.
Guess I got to bite the bullet and fork out the mula. Was just looking at hopefully saving a few$. But it sounds like going cheaper is not the right answer, better do it right I guess,
Thx
Very good advise on the gearing,i know its expensive,but its really the way to go.Forget the chip,it aint gunna do nothing!
